Prior to reading this book, I knew next to nothing about Stanley "Tookie" Williams, beyond what I read on the Wikipedia page that lead me to the book in the first place. Overall the book is an interesting read. I never felt bored whilst reading it, and I was always compelled to continue reading the book up until the end. There are, in my opinion, a few problems with it. One is the writing style isn't particularly compelling, not bad, and it is certainly competent, it just doesn't demonstrate the prowess I've seen in some other writers. With that said I also feel the need to mention that Mr. Tookie does something he himself bemoans in that he will occasionally use unnecessarily sesquipedalian or recondite verbage seemingly at random (see what I did there?). Occasionally the words, which are occasionally in foreign languages such as Latin or Swahili, will even have their more common meaning or a translation immediately following. Sometimes this does serve a purpose, but more often than not it seems unnecessary.As for the actual story, it is interesting. Pacing at time seems like it may have been able to have been done better, and often times many characters are mentioned as if they had always been there with little to no background information or time spent identifying their significance to the reader. It can be quite jarring. It is the story of the foundation of the Crips, but it does focus more on the personal life of Mr. Williams than the significantly more famous gang that he founded. I must say that I personally was disappointed by this. There is very little on the co-founder of the Crips, beyond the seminal moment of the gang and his death. It also completely ignores the formation of the Bloods, the rival gang to the Crips, and only mentions them in passing when referring to members of the gang whom he met while in prison.Overall I say it was definitely worth the read. As evidenced by the overwhelming number of very passionate defenses and condemnations in the reviews section, Mr. Williams definitely led an interesting and controversial life. I will admit I had to take the entire story with a grain of salt. I had a hard time setting my prejudices aside, while at the same time being aware that this is an autobiography penned by a man who was convicted of, and eventually executed for, murder; also directly responsible for the rise of one of the biggest gangs in the world and indirectly responsible for the suffering that caused (a fact for which he was admittedly remorseful). While it did at times feel like a confession, it could also feel like an excuse. This for me was legitimately concerning, not so much because I cared for the case, but because I was reading a non-fiction title and wanted as close to the truth as possible.To conclude I recommend people read this autobiography. Stanley Williams is, for better or for worse, one of the most influential people in American history. His story sheds light on to many aspects of American culture and history that many of us may not have been exposed to, and it definitely warrants a read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Nice *by T***2 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 11, 2023* For a used book it looks very mean new --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/1757857-blue-rage-black-redemption-a-memoir](https://www.desertcart.co/products/1757857-blue-rage-black-redemption-a-memoir) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
